[Research Paper] HKAC CREATORS FOR TOMORROW - PLAY! Artist made video games in Asia
Games give out mission and allow participants to engage in gameplay through temporary character roles, thereby experiencing the worlds designed by their creators. Artists utilize this attribute to make video games a unique and participatory creative medium. This project aims to showcase the works of Asian artists as an example, highlighting the various aspects of their creations and the influence of the trajectory of Japanese video game development on their art.
